After dinner, Fang Yang, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie came to the playground.
Xie Xie didn't want to come, but he was dragged over by the two of them.
However, by the time they arrived, Gu Yue was already there, and she had fully recovered her Spirits.
It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun left a brilliant fiery red in the sky, shining on Gu Yue's small face, adding a touch of brightness to her delicate beauty.
Wu Changkong still had a stern expression, having changed into a black tracksuit.
Not far away, many older female students gathered nearby, in twos and threes, their gazes all on him.
It wasn't until Fang Yang and the others arrived that these older female students shifted their gazes.
Although the four of them were still young, they all possessed extraordinary temperaments.
Fang Yang's brows exuded heroism, Tang Wulin was as gentle as jade, Xie Xie was lively and unrestrained, and Gu Yue was elegant and refined; standing together, they formed a scenery of their own.
"You four, follow me." Seeing the four arrive, Wu Changkong turned and left, his voice cold.
The four followed him, walking towards the depths of the academy.
Wu Changkong led them to an indoor training ground behind the academy.
He had acquired this when he went to find Long Hengxu today.
Wu Changkong had expressed that he would support Long Hengxu's work and not cause trouble for the director of the teaching office.
Long Hengxu also gave him the green light all the way.
However, Wu Changkong didn't care what schemes Long Hengxu had, as long as his own goal was achieved.
If it weren't for Fang Yang and the other three, he wouldn't have compromised so easily, and an apology would never have come from him.
However, coming to the Intermediate Department this time made Wu Changkong encounter four students in his life who moved him.
Once they are well Cultivated, they will be qualified to enter Shrek Academy!
Fang Yang possesses a special Bloodline and controls flames that surpass the ultimate fire.
Gu Yue's Spirit is an elemental master, controlling all elements of heaven and earth.
Xie Xie possesses the rare twin spirits, Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger.
And Tang Wulin's twin spirits are Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer…
The Spirit that had not appeared since the God King Tang San, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, had once again manifested after two millennia!
Once Tang Wulin joins the Tang Sect, he will be the heir to the Tang Sect's Sect Leader!
The training ground was circular, protected by a Spirit-guided shield inside; this was a place for students with higher cultivation to conduct Spirit training.
After all, in a place like the playground, once spirit power reached a certain level, it was too easy to cause damage.
Wu Changkong led the four to the center of the field and stood still.
"Starting today, every night, you will follow me for special training, working hard for the promotion match!"
Previously, Wu Changkong said that only three people would be sent to participate in the promotion match.
Now that Gu Yue had arrived and her talent was also good, he decided to train all four first.
Then, he would assess the strength of the four and finally decide who to send.
"Teacher, what will the special training be? It won't still be physical training, will it?" Xie Xie's focus was clearly different.
He already had a phobia of physical training; physical training was terrifying!
"Of course not. No matter what training you undergo, the goal is only one, and that is to increase your strength.
Any strength originates from actual combat, so your special training will only be actual combat."
Wu Changkong said coldly.
Upon hearing the words "actual combat," Xie Xie's face showed excitement.
Actual combat is good, he Xie Xie loves actual combat!
Of course, Xie Xie later regretted it; he had never wanted physical training so much.
He couldn't beat any of them…
Fang Yang hit him from the side, Gu Yue's continuous attacks, and Tang Wulin directly used Blue Silver Entanglement.
Wu Changkong looked at the four in turn, his gaze like a knife: "I will first explain the key points to each of you, and then we will proceed to actual combat."
"Xie Xie, your speed is already fast enough at your stage, but your physical endurance is a fatal weakness, not lasting enough. Secondly, your second Spirit should be used as a trump card; it should not be revealed unless it's for a killing blow."
Turning to Tang Wulin, his tone softened slightly: "Tang Wulin, your Blue Silver Grass Spirit is incredibly tough. What you need to do now is to Cultivate your spirit power well and develop into a control system Spirit Master. As for your Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, do not expose it for now."
"Understood." Tang Wulin also agreed.
Turning to Gu Yue, Wu Changkong's tone, uncharacteristically, revealed a hint of admiration: "Your elemental control talent is extraordinary, but you must pay attention to the Fusion of elements. The power of a single element is ultimately limited; the combination of multiple elements is your path forward."
"Thank you, Teacher Wu Changkong." Gu Yue nodded and said.
Finally, his gaze fell on Fang Yang, and he uncharacteristically hesitated for a moment: "You… just maintain the status quo."
"Then, the special training will begin immediately." Wu Changkong said indifferently.
Xie Xie knew it was actual combat training, and his Spirits had already lifted considerably. He eagerly said, "Teacher Wu, who will go first?"
Wu Changkong retreated three steps, waved his right hand, and the Skyfrost Sword Spirit appeared in his hand. A chilling aura instantly permeated the entire field.
"All four of you come at me together. I will not hold back!"
Before Xie Xie could react, a blue ice Sword Qi rushed towards him!
"Teacher Wu, you're not playing fair, you're ambushing us!"
He hastily activated his spirit power and leaped backward, while his Light Dragon Dagger hastily parried, the metallic clash tearing through the air.
"Less nonsense! On the battlefield, it's about winners and losers. What's 'fair' about it?"
Before Wu Changkong's words finished, the second Sword Qi had already been unleashed.
Fang Yang reacted the fastest, the first purple spirit ring behind him glowing brightly.
Deep yellow fire lotuses condensed in his hands.
"Go!"
The fire lotuses whistled out, the air scorching wherever they passed.
Gu Yue attacked almost simultaneously, the yellow spirit ring behind her flickering.
Then, she lightly waved her jade hand, and dozens of ice cones condensed in the air, forming a wonderful combination with the fire lotuses — a dual assault of ice and fire!
Tang Wulin was not idle either; his first spirit ring lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass silently spread out.
First Spirit Ability: "Blue Silver Entanglement!"
The tough vines coiled like spiritual snakes towards Wu Changkong's lower body, while at the same time, a strand wrapped around Xie Xie's waist, pulling him away from the dangerous area.
Facing the tacit combined attack of the three, Wu Changkong's lips curled slightly. The first spirit ring behind him suddenly lit up.
First Spirit Ability: "Frost Mark!"
The Skyfrost Sword in his hand drew a perfect arc.
The ice-blue Sword Qi collided with the fire lotuses and ice cones in mid-air, erupting in a deafening roar.
Under the cover of the explosion, the Blue Silver Grass had already entangled Wu Changkong, but before Tang Wulin could show joy.
"Hmph!"
Wu Changkong snorted coldly, and the chilling aura around him surged.
The tough Blue Silver Grass vines were instantly frozen, then shattered inch by inch.
"Disperse!" Fang Yang shouted in a low voice. The four immediately understood and quickly spread out, forming a four-corner formation to surround Wu Changkong in the center.
Xie Xie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and both the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger appeared in his hands simultaneously.
Gu Yue was condensing elements of different attributes in her hands.
Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass danced around him.
Fang Yang maintained the posture of condensing fire lotuses, ready to launch the next round of attack at any moment.
